BABY boxes worth 300 euros are finally being rolled out in Ireland following discussions with the Scottish Government.
Earlier this year it was agreed hundreds of parents of newborn children would be sent the "little baby bundles" as part of a delayed trial modelled on the support Scotland has offered to families for the past five years.
The packages began to be delivered to expectant Irish parents on Thursday after what Teachta Dala Neale Richmond described as a "long campaign" that included talks with Scotland's Public Health Minister Maree Todd.
